DUBLIN, Ireland, Aug. 10, 2007 -- Intune Networks, a maker of optical switching products, announced it has raised $17.75 million from a consortium of investors: Amadeus Capital Partners, Balderton Capital (formerly Benchmark Capital Europe) and Spark Capital.

Intune was formed in Dublin, Ireland in 1999 by John Dunne, chief marketing officer, and Tom Farrell, chief technology officer.

Last August, the company recruited Tim Fritzley, a senior executive in Microsoft’s Internet Protocal TV (IPTV) division, as its chief executive.

Intune said the funding will enable it to develop new products for telecommunications markets.

"Intune has the technology to solve some key problems for the large carriers, particularly with guaranteed service quality and network robustness," Fritzley said. "The proceeds of the funding round give management the resources to accelerate its strategy."

Glossary
optical switching
Optical switching refers to the process of controlling the routing or transmission of optical signals within a network using various techniques to selectively switch or redirect optical paths. This is essential in optical communication systems, where data is transmitted as light signals over optical fibers. Optical switching technologies enable efficient, high-speed, and flexible routing of optical signals, enhancing the performance and scalability of optical networks. There are several types...
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
